"All customers affected by the Edison substation outage have been restored," read a tweet from PSE&G around 5 p.m. "Sorry for the disruption, thanks for your patience."

While customers in Edison had been restored on Saturday night, most of the Highland Park customers remained in the dark for a second day on Sunday.

Spokesperson Christina Lloyd, who confirmed the restoration to New Jersey 101.5 in a phone call explained that condensation in a substation in Edison led to an explosion that caused extensive damage. Lloyd said there was a lot of reconstruction of the substation that had to happen before power could be restored.
